Deadline is reporting today that Matthew Lewis is starring in Baby, Done, a Piki Films production by New Zealander Taika Waititi. Fans will recall that last week Matthew tweeted that he would be in New Zealand for the next 8 weeks. Now we know why!

Rose Matafeo stars as Zoe “a tree surgeon who becomes pregnant by her longterm boyfriend Tim and subsequently freaks out as she tries to rush through her dreams before she turns into a mother.” Matthew will be playing Zoe’s boyfriend Tim.

Of his role in the film, Matthew says: “I fell in love with the script immediately and the team of creatives behind it. I’m also a big fan of Rose and her work and so to be opposite her shooting in beautiful New Zealand is a privilege and I’m looking forward to bringing this story to life.”

Curtis Vowell will be directing the film written by actress Sophie Henderson. It is a semi-autobiographical story inspired by her and Vowell’s own reaction to starting a family. Curtis revealed, “Sophie and I are over the moon to be working with Rose and Matthew — they’re hilarious together and their chemistry is electric. We’re already having a lot of fun making it and can’t wait to deliver it to the world.”

According to Deadline, the film will be released in New Zealand and Australia in 2020. It is unknown when it will be released in other countries but we would assume a similar timeline.
